You will be working on this challenge in teams of 4 or more. Your team will get to choose which type of structure they would like to propose be considered for this project. You will need to find a construction site in the state of Texas using Google Earth.
Each team member will be researching from one of the following perspectives:
Architect
Architectural Historian
Electrical Engineer
Civil Engineers:
Construction Engineer
Environmental Engineer
Geotechnical Engineer
Structural Engineer
Choose carefully - all experts will need to research and contribute to your team's proposal. All experts must be pertinent to the success of building your chosen structure (dam, canal, skyscraper, bridge, tunnel, dome or stadium).
Proposals should include:
(Remember that scholars are able to support their thinking with reasons and evidence.)
Why this structure now?
What is the purpose of this structure?
Where is the best place to build this structure?
Would this structure be better for place 1 or place 2?
What are the pros and cons of each location?
What is this lineage of this structure?
What special types of systems might your structure need?
What new innovations does this structure utilize?
How will this structure impact the community around it?
How will this structure impact the environment around it?
What is the construction impact of this structure during and post construction?
What possible problems do you foresee with this structure?
What if you don't build this structure - what is the impact on the community and environment?
How might this project lead to future development?
What is the approximate cost of your structure?
Presentation:
You will be able to choose from many different products to create your proposal presentation. All products will be expected to be of Professional Student Quality.
